A “Wild Hair”

Posted in Quilting by Zenia Rene

I promised myself I wouldn’t start another project, besides the QA Row by Row Round-Robin we’re starting in November, until I finish four other UFOs in my closet.

BUT…

I just had to test out my new AccuCut GrandMARK2, which is identical to the accuquilt Studio2…

on a quick little project…

and so, this 12″ sq. Dutchman’s Puzzle was born.

And then I got a “wild hair”, and decided to practice FMQ.

Intending to do mostly Pebbling, this is what I accomplished.

It’s more wobble and cobble, but it is fabulous to me!

Thanks for stopping by.

Long Story Short

Posted in Quilting by Zenia Rene

It took me 2 days to make this 6″ x 7 ” paperpieced block.

It is called Wicked Weaver by lillyella and comes in 3 sizes; 6″ x 7 “, 10″ x 12″ and, 18″ x 21.5”.

I chose the smallest size to test out this B&W striped fabric for the background, which I plan to use as the background for the large size block I’m making to go on the back of my Halloween Spider Web quilt.

My eyes and hands would’ve appreciated me making the medium size instead.

Alas, it’s done and I think the B&W stripe is totally badass.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bound and Finished

Posted in Quilting by Zenia Rene

I am excited to share several finishes w/you today!

This first one is a quilt I started for my sister’s office at her new job. A job she celebrated her 3yr anniversary at this past May! Better late than never right?The pattern is Summer Star Mini by Jera at Quilting in the Rain. I quilted it using a pantograph called Malachite by Urban Elementz while I was visiting Katy.

Next up is an Attic Windows quilt I started last October. I finished the top right away, but it hung stuck in flimsy status until just recently.

It was quilted by a friend, and up and coming longarm quilter here in the West Valley.

And this quilt was neither pieced nor quilted by me. However, it is my first original pattern called Straits and Arrows. It was featured in Stash Builder Box in January. My pattern is available in my Craftsy Pattern Shop.

It was pieced by my good friend Sue, who gave me the flimsy. I had it quilted by the same friend who quilted Attic Windows.

And last but not least, is a crazy quilt I acquired a few years ago. I bought a serger from a coworker whose Aunt had recently passed and they threw in all kinds of extras. This was an extra.
